Virgin Piña Colada Refresher

Ingredients

• 1 ripe pineapple (whole, diced)
• 1 cup pineapple juice

1. 1

   Cut the whole ripe pineapple into chunks. Set a few chunks aside for garnish if desired.

   In a blender, combine the fresh pineapple chunks, 1 cup of pineapple juice, 14 oz of coconut cream, 14 oz of sweetened condensed milk, and 1/4 cup of sugar.

3. 3

   Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy.

4. 4

   Taste the mixture and add more condensed milk or sugar if you prefer a sweeter profile.

6. 6

   Add the 1/2 cup of diced pineapple to the pitcher, mix well, and serve immediately.
